“Jennifer took care of my 2 kitties. She provided updates with photos of the girls. Sometimes they can be shy and hide, but they both came out for her during each visit.”
“The best of the best! Our girls adapt to Georgina so well and we are over the Moon too. Communication is great and seeing the pictures sent to us brings joy everytime :D”
“Brittany is an amazing pet sitter -- professional and reliable, and more importantly, my cats loved her! Even my shy cat was comfortable and enjoyed her visits. Would definitely rebook her!”
“Chelsea was so great to work with! She dropped in on my kitten twice a day and followed all my overly-detailed instructions I gave her 🤣🤣 Will definitely book again!!”
About: I have had cats and have taken care of them since I was eight years old, and have spent time with dogs, but don't have any of my own. But I am looking forward to meeting yours. I work part time, usually at night and usually on weekends, I am pretty flexible on weekdays and can take care of your pet in the mornings or afternoons. I feed and clean up after my cat at home. If I am walking a dog then I am comfortable running or going at any pace.
“Sara goes above and beyond!!! She does an incredible job at taking care of my diabetic kitty making sure she gets her meds on time and lots of love. She also sends a ton of amazing photos as well! Can’t recommend her enough 💕”
“Danya was very responsive and great at communicating. She left us great summaries after every visit and sent pictures of our 3 cats. Also really appreciated her willingness to come for a free meet and greet before our trip. Will definitely be booking with Danya again!”
“Sarah was great with our cat Cedar. She took good care of our timid cat and followed our directions perfectly. She is super nice and friendly, as well. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Lucy did a phenomenal job taking care of our nervous cat. Her updates were so fun to read and thorough, and she has a way with animals because our cat actually warmed up to her really well which is unusual! Highly recommend Lucy!”
“Nat was pretty great in taking care of my babies. She was also very accommodating when my flight got canceled, so I needed her for an extra day. I will use her again.”
“I could not be more pleased with Salina’s caregiving. My senior cat, Gertrude, has been experiencing some significant health issues this past year and gets anxious when I have to leave town. Salina was very clearly there for my cat and for me as well. I will not hesitate to rebook.”
About: Hi, I am Julie, a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs and recently said goodbye to my cherished 13-year-old pit/lab mix after years of loving companionship. Four years ago, I turned my deep passion for animals into a professional career, and I would be truly honored to care for your furry family members as if they were my own. Dogsitting is a calling that chose me just as much as I chose it, and because cats and dogs naturally gravitate toward me, I take special joy in winning over even the most timid pets. I am currently working part-time with a highly flexible schedule, allowing me ample time to give your furry friend the love and attention they deserve. As a massage therapist, I bring a gentle touch to my pet care, ensuring your pup receives plenty of petting, belly rubs, and ear scratches—if they enjoy that kind of affection. I prioritize their comfort and well-being, adjusting my daily routine to meet the specific needs of your pet. Whether it's taking them for long, leisurely walks or adhering to a strict feeding schedule, I am dedicated to providing the best care. Additionally, I am experienced in administering medications, ensuring that your pet’s health is always in good hands. Your pup will feel pampered and loved while you are away!
“Cam stopped by twice a day to check on my cats while I was away for a week. Cam followed my instructions perfectly and was very responsive. My cats are shy and take some time to warm up to people. They began to come out towards the end of the trip despite the limited time. Cam was amazing!”
“Daniel was an excellent drop-in visitor and playmate for our cat Georgie. We really appreciated his friendliness, prompt communication, and genuine affection for our cat. Bonus points for his availability short notice during holiday season as well! We’d definitely recommend Daniel.”
“Tricia is the best!!!! Our cat is super shy, but she LOVES her! It’s always so fun getting the rover report cards and seeing that my baby is being well cared for. We booked a last minute trip, and Tricia was so nice in accepting to care for my baby ❤️ I will always rebook with her!”

Leah took wonderful care of our sweet shy girl! She sent us updates everyday, going above and beyond for us since we were nervous leaving our cat for the first time.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
